The antennas up on the mast are relatively small so the bending moment they exert on the mast vis-a-vis your low windspeed rating is also relatively small. The aforementioned aluminum has a yield str

You can buy the MARC program from Champion Radio for $10 and it will calculate this for you even suggesting the type of mast material. They will email the program to you. It would be $10 will spent.

Thanks for the reply. The 16" should read be 16 feet for the approximate mast out of the top of the tower. The 2 meter antenna is: 2.7 sq ft The 6 meter antenna is: 2.5 sq ft The Force 12 C32XR is: 1

Do you remember what the 24 foot aluminum mast weighed? I was quoted $5.90 a foot from Alcobra locally but I did not get the weight. I have a 23.5 foot steel mast that weighs 98 lb and that is pretty

Hi, Steve -- The bending moment is 18,641 in-lbs. The mast recommended needs a yield strength of 42,000 psi and 0.188" wall. Since the yield strength of the of 6061-T6 is 35,000 psi, you're pretty cl

I am using a MA770 with a 10 foot aluminum mast (1/4 inch wall) out the top. I have done a lot of experimenting with various antennas and the mast has been tightened down in many different places alo
